A charterhouse founded, with a licence of 1563, by Hernando de Aragón, Archbishop of Zaragoza and grandson of the Catholic Monarchs; the first stone was laid on 29 February 1564. Its single-nave church, with star vaults, keeps seven of the eleven mural paintings Goya made in 1774, and the Rococo portal dates from about 1770. The Carthusians left in 2011 and the Chemin Neuf Community now occupies it and allows visits.
